RATIONALE

Project Management is a confluence of Management principles and Engineering subject

area. This course enables the students to develop conceptualisation of Engineering Management
principles and apply the same for their engineering projects, in their domains, example, Software Development
project or Construction Project and so on. The course integrates three core areas of Planning, Execution and
Auditing of Projects.

1. COURSE SKILL SET

Student will be able to:

1. Understand what constitutes a project, Plan for the execution of the project by breaking into
manageable work units, and Prepare necessary project artifacts
2. Track and control the Project while preparing verifiable records for Project Inspections and
Audits
3. Inspect and Audit projects for Milestones or other project completion criteria and other metrics,
Defects and remediation, Project learnings
4. Gain knowledge and develop curiosity on latest technology trends in Project management
2. COURSE OUT COMES

At the end of the course, student will be able to

Apply the concepts of Project Management to real projects which are expressed in the form of the
CO1
Project reports or Engineering drawings
Estimate Project resources needed – Time, Material and Effort, and Plan for
CO2
execution
Understand, analyse and assess the risks involved in a project and plan for managing them
CO3

CO4 Use Project Management Software andprocesses to track and controlProjects

CO5 Conduct inspection of Projects and audit progress and bills

Understand the Digital Technology trends in Project management and concepts like Smart cities

7. INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY

These are sample Strategies, which teacher can use to accelerate the attainment of the various course
outcomes

1. Explicit instruction will be provided in intervention classes or by using different differentiation

strategies in the main classroom.
2. Lecturer method (L) does not mean only traditional lecture method, but different type of teaching method and
media that are employed to develop the outcomes.
3. Observing the way their more proficient peers use prior knowledge to solve current challenges and
persevere in problem solving will help struggling students to improve their approach to engaging with rich
contextual problems.
4. Topics be introduced always with a reallife example and then answering What, how, why and when.
5. The teacher is able to show different ways to solve the same problem and encourage the students to come up
with their own creative ways to solve them.
6. In a perfect world, teacher would always be able to demonstrate how every concept can be applied to the real
world - and when that's possible, it helps improve the students' understanding. When a concept cannot be
applied in that manner, we can still share how it might be applied within mathematics.

Case Studies:

Please note: TheTutorscaneitherusethefollowingCasestudiesandactivitiesorDesign on their own, with

the overall Learning Outcomes being met.

Case Study I: Residential House – Project Execution Plan

1. Dr. Sunil Kulkarni wants to build a house on his 9000 square feet (90x100) vacant plot in Bengaluru. His
requirements were given below.

i) He lives with his wife, parents and two college going children.
ii) He likes open space around his house and likes to do gardening during free time
iii) His wife teaches Yoga and about 30 middle aged and old people attend the daily sessions.
iv) He has a budget limitation of INR 230,00,000 for this project and wants to present to his wife
on their 20th wedding anniversary which is 18 months away.
v) His parents can not climb stairs and hence prefer a ground floor room
vi) All the rooms should have attached bathrooms

How-ever the Civil contractor who took the work, overshot the time and money available and hence Dr Sunil was
unhappy with the Architect firm who recommended the Contractor.

Task:

• Split the class into groups of three

• Ask them to prepare 2D drawings – with Plan, Elevation, Sections and perspectives.
 • Prepare the detailed WBS, a Project execution plan and Project communication plan for contractors
• Estimate the quantities
• Discuss on the possible reasons for delay and methods with which performance to both time and budget
could have been achieved
• Present it in a seminar, with each group getting 5-10 minutes to present their idea.

Case Study 2a:

The Columbus Hospital proposed in Hubli is a 200 bed speciality private hospital for treatment of Cancer.
The hospital will come up on a 12 acre plot between Hubli-Dharwad. A leading construction company has come
forward to complete the hospital works from concept to commissioning in 9 months. The promoters are
willing to spend a premium to complete the hospital in 9 month time and are not particular about type of
construction,ie, RCC, Steel frame etc. The key requirements are as follows:

i) 200 bed hospital of which 40 are for critical care (ICU), 40 for pre and post Operative care
ii) 4OperationTheatres- 2Major(Minimum800SFTeach)and2 minor (minimum 400 sft each)
iii) One full fledged Diagnostic laboratory (1500 Sft)
iv) One 24x7 pharmacy (360 Sft min)
v) Doctors rooms, Nurses enclosures, Change rooms
vi) Office with billing counters (min 2000 sft) for all administrative staff
vii) Wheel chair parking bays, Stretcher parking bays in all floors
viii) One Cafetaria with 50 person capacity
ix) One conference room with Multimedia equipment (300 sft min)
x) Parking for ambulances, 4 wheelers, two wheelers
xi) Reception and enquiry counter
xii) All amenities should be accessible for disabled persons
xiii) Incinerator, Waste storage and disposal area
xiv) Generator and fuel storage area

Discuss

i) The various alternative approaches available to complete the hospital.

ii) Look into National Building Code and BIS standards for arriving at approximate (+/- 10%) super
built-up area required, amenities to be planned
iii) The various phases of the project according to Project lifecycle and durations
iv) Prepare the detailed WBS, Project Organisation required and Project Dairy template
v) Prepare a Project Plan with risks involved and the risk management plan.
 vi) Estimate the cost of time overrun if the project is delayed by 114 calendar
days due to issues with approvals

Case Study 2b:

For case study 2 above, prepare an Implementation Plan using a spreadsheet software.

Discuss

i) What happens if a pandemic affects the project in its 7th Month. How do
you mitigate the possible issues in implementation?
ii) What happensifduringthefourth monthofprojects theclientdecides to
reduce funds for the month by 50% ?

Case Study 2c:

For case study 2 above, prepare a Critical Path method Chart (CPM) showing all
main activities in the WBS with milestones.

Discuss

i) What happens if the client decides to complete the ground floor roof 15
days earlier ?
ii) What happens if the client reduces the inflow of project funds by 50% for
the month 4 ?
iii) Write an Audit report for the project at the end of 6th month

Case Study 3:

This will be done as a student activity and has two components.

i) Research on 3D printing in any industry and prepare a three page article

ii) Study usage of Drones in different Industries and evaluate the Cost benefits
of using the same for any one scenario.
